After a few moments, the result of the first round was announced right on the spot. However, the result was very unexpected. After the five judges discussed among themselves, they decided that the first round was a draw. This was because Carter and Rocky finished the evaluation at the same time, and the identification data of the beast attribute were just the same.
As soon as the result was announced, the entire hall became wild again. There had never been a result of a draw before in the history of the Beast Master Contest. However, that was not the most surprising part. What was really surprising was how the Cao Clan turned the tables just when they were almost certainly defeated because of Queenie's failure in the previous round. This twist to the competition was because of the appearance of a mysterious man—Rocky. A draw match showed that Rocky obviously had the strength and ability to compete against Carter.
By this moment, everyone was curious about who Rocky really was and why he was so powerful. However, not a single person in the hall knew his true identity.
All of a sudden, the spotlight shifted from Carter to Rocky. Everybody talked about the mysterious man among themselves in hushed voices.
The second round started as soon as the first round ended. At this moment, another spirit-manipulated beast was put in the huge cage on the round platform.
"It's just beginner's luck, boy. In this round, I'll make sure that you're out of dumb luck." Carter didn't expect that the result was going to be a draw. He felt ashamed of himself because he was not able to defeat a nobody. So he snorted at Rocky as a declaration of war against him. He was really driven to completely defeat him this time.
Surprisingly, Carter didn't use his Radiance Evaluation Skill. Instead, he walked straight to the cage and raised his palm. All of a sudden, his palm was wrapped by a strange colorful light. His palm then turned into some sort of a magic hand that was able to control the movement of the spirit-manipulated beast.
"What is he doing? Is he doing the Stroking Evaluation Skill? That Skill he is showing is a unique skill of our clan!" At this moment, a beast evaluator of a clan suddenly stood up and shouted in amazement.
As soon as he was finished with what he was saying, the audience burst into an ear-splitting uproar. Everyone was dumbfounded by what was happening.
The Stroking Evaluation Skill was also a very famous Beast Evaluation Skill in the Wild Spirit Land. Moreover, it was more abstruse than the Radiance Evaluation Skill. This meant that, with the same beast evaluation strength, the Stroking Evaluation Skill was a little more powerful than the Radiance Evaluation Skill. It was hard for everybody to imagine that Carter had mastered these two different kinds of incredibly powerful Beast Evaluation Skills. Although to be fair to him, to become a beast evaluator who knew the Radiance Evaluation Skill was already hard work itself. Carter also knew the profound Stroking Evaluation Skill which was impressive. Therefore, his strength should not be underestimated and he must top the ranks among the beast evaluators who were at the same level as him.
"Carter is such a great beast evaluator. I never expected that he could master the Stroking Evaluation Skill which is one of the top Beast Evaluation Skills. However, the Stroking Evaluation Skill and the Radiance Evaluation Skill are from two different beast evaluating factions. It seems that he has learned the Stroking Evaluation Skill by some suspicious and dirty tricks..." Lucas was surprised at first by Carter's strength. But then he realized that Carter had learned two different Beast Evaluation Skills from two different factions at the same time, which appeared to be inconstant in his own clan. And now, his surprise towards Carter's ability turned to dismay. In his opinion, the most important thing for a beast evaluator was to honor and respect his master and clan.
Of course, Carter's strength also made the Cao Clan more worried. The Cao Clan grew hope because of the previous round, but they had noticed that Carter obviously had held back and hid his strength in the former rounds. Now, he was taking the match more seriously as he showed an advanced Stroking Evaluation Skill. The chances were high that Rocky would fail no matter what skill he exhibited.
